Examples

“The AfD had planned to put⟳ a call⟳ for “Dexit” at the heart of its manifesto for May’s European parliament elections, with a pledge to leave⟳ the EU by 2024 unless the bloc is radically reformed. […] Originally founded to oppose⟳ the single currency, the AfD has previously shied away from calling for Dexit in a country where 75 per cent of people believe⟳ EU membership is beneficial, according to a poll last⟳ year.”
“Support⟳ for 'Dexit' falls sharply since Brexit […] Euroscepticism has fast lost support⟳ in Denmark as the consequences of Britain’s vote⟳ for Brexit become⟳ clearer, new polling suggest⟳.”
“Many had seen Denmark as a possible candidate to follow⟳ the UK out of the EU, but even the Danish People’s party has backed away from Dexit, while the government has turned from London to Berlin on a number⟳ of policies.”
“Game Freak came clean⟳, stating that it simply couldn’t include⟳ all Pokémon in the games — a first for the series — because of technical limitations. This controversy, known as Dexit by the fans, might have⟳ prompted less blowback if Game Freak could show⟳ that its decision led to better graphics and performance.”
